Missy
- Main article: Theory:Timeline - Missy
The Lumiat
- As she dies, Missy, tired of being evil, creates an Elysian field in order to kick start a new regeneration cycle and reconstructs her body into a distillation of all her goodness. This new incarnation takes on the name "the Lumiat" and seeks to do good in the universe, inspired by the Doctor. (AUDIO: The Lumiat)
- The Lumiat foils several of Missy's schemes, leading Missy to believe she is the Doctor. They spend some time travelling together, with the Lumiat trying to act as a good influence on her. However, Missy soon grows bored of the Lumiat and mortally wounds her, before abandoning her in the middle of her regeneration.
In a male body again
- After regenerating into a male body, the Master learns the truth of the Timeless Child and destroys the Time Lord civilisation by ravaging Gallifrey. (TV: Spyfall)
- The Master confronts the Thirteenth Doctor and Team TARDIS during an alliance with Daniel Barton and the Kasaavin. Pursuing the Doctor throughout Earth's history, the Master is left stranded and without a TARDIS in 1943 Paris, where he is also taken prisoner by the Third Reich.
- After being trapped on Earth for 77 years, the Master is exiled to the Kasaavin realm. (TV: Spyfall)
- The Master has made a psychic link with the Doctor, and is still taunting her with his knowledge of the Timeless Child, setting this before Ascension of the Cybermen. He recalls his time as Missy, even referencing her imprisonment in the Vault.
- The Master catches up with the Doctor at the Boundary on Gallifrey, leading directly into The Timeless Children.
